Yorozuya save the day~! Again! (Source: Internet)
- Genre: Action, Comedy, Historical, Parody, Samurai, Sci-Fi, Shounen
- Release Date: Jul 9, 2018
- Origins: Manga
- Studio: BN Pictures
Gintama Gin no Tamashii-hen, or Gintama Silver Soul Arc, is final and also the most exciting Gintama season so far with a nice combination between seriousness, actions, and humors. As Utsuro revealed his genocidal plan to kill himself and the entire Universe, the Yorozuya, their friends and even enemies on Earth have to unite if they want to stop this madness. There is clearly a high level of action and gore here. But somehow the show still managed to bring in some funny moments (in Gintama style of course). With such great season 1, we definitely have all reasons to anticipate for this 2nd season.

For those who are not into indie games, this one may slip under your radar. Satsuriku no Tenshi is originally an adventure-horror game made by RPG Maker. It quickly becomes extremely popular in Japan thanks to its compelling story and psychological horror element. The story tells about a 13-year-old girl named Rachel who awakes in a strange building. And strangely enough, she cannot remember anything about her past. While finding a way out of this building, she encounters a young man named Zack who wields a freaky scythe. After certain “issue”, Rachel and Zack decided to group together in order to escape this place. To be honest, playing a horror game can be intimidating. But fortunate enough, anime lovers can enjoy the interesting story of Satsuriku no Tenshi in anime soon on Jul 6, 2018.

It’s Summer 2018 and indeed we have quite a lot of water-themed anime this season. Aside from Free! Dive to the Future, here we have Island, an anime based on a visual novel of the same name. It tells the story of an island called Urashima which is located far, far away from the mainland. The island may look like a paradise from outsiders’ eyes, but in fact, the island’s denizens are being stuck with long and complicated traditions. Suddenly one day, a young man named Setsuna appears and claims himself as a “time traveler“, yet he loses all of his memories. Here he met 3 young girls Rinne, Karen, and Sara. Together they will change this island and discover secrets lurking within this place, as well as the forgotten memories. For some reason, Island really, really sounds like a “harem anime” but that should not be a huge problem… if feel. Studio do it right. But hey! The original visual novel itself was quite well-received so we can hope for its anime’s quality, right?

Coming in number 6 we have Tenrou Sirius the Jaeger, an original anime comes P.A. Works Studio. According to the synopsis, the anime will take place in the Imperial Capital of 1930 where a group of vampire hunters called Jaegers arrived on Tokyo Station. Interesting enough, all members equip with musical instrument cases, believed to hold the weapons to hunt vampires. Among those Jaegers there is a stand-out young boy named Yuliy, an actual werewolf who had his homeland destroyed by vampires. Together, Yuliy and the Jaegers are destined to fight against the mysterious holy arc called as the “The Arc of Sirius” without knowing the truth hidden ahead of them. So far, the anime’s synopsis already got us interested. And since this is made by P.A. Works – the same folks behind famous anime like Angel Beats, Another, and Charlotte, the hype is definitely going high for this one.

As you can guess from the poster, yes it is a harem/ecchi anime originated from the manga of the same title. In short, it tells the story of a high school boy named Kogarashi. He had a long history with ghosts and other spiritual events, which eventually make him an extremely powerful, yet… homeless young man. As he arrives at his new “home” called Yuragi-sou – a former hot springs inn, he soon found out that this is the living place of many, many beautiful girls. Here he also met Yuuna, a beautiful teenage girl ghost. Feeling sympathized with her problem, he promised to help her to finally be released from this world of the livings. Will he succeed? Who knows? But more importantly, we will get to see lots of harem – ecchi moments throughout the show.

Winter 2018 Anime List
For many viewers, the previous Overlord Season 2 had quite a boring start with the Lizardmen Arc. But fortunately, the show managed to get better and better towards the final episodes. Nonetheless, the hype for Overlord Season 3 is still running strong and no doubt it will get tons of attention. It will take place right after the last The Men in the Kingdom Arc back in Season 2. What we can expect from this third season? Well, more plotting, our favorite Nazarick characters in action, and especially our “hot boy” Ainz-sama. Let’s hope that we will get to see The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc because that arc is AWESOME!
